Valleys Installation

Tile Measuring, Cutting and Bending
Tile measuring, cutting and bending for valleys is carried out as for hips, except that the bends are downwards. Measure the distance from the last corrugation of the installed tile to the desired finished tile line in the valley (approximately 40mm to each side of the valley centre line (Fig. 10). This measurement is done at the top and bottom of the installed tile. This is the bend line. To this measurement add the depth of the valley from the finished tile line minus 10mm which is the amount the tile will drop into the valley. This is the cutting line (Fig. 11) and will result in a tapered downturn. Cut with the guillotine and bend down the tile at the bend line. Install in the normal manner, endeavouring to place one nail close to the valley. Do Not nail in the valley itself.
